Villages – Guilds
The Vietnamese culture has always
evolved on the basis of the wet rice civilization. Thus, the
lifestyle of the Vietnamese population is closely related to its
village and native lands.
|
In Vietnamese society, people gather together to form
villages in rural areas, and guilds in urban areas. Villages
and guilds have been forming since the dawn of the nation.
These organizations have gradually developed for the
population to be more stable and closer together. Each
village and guild has its own regulations called
conventions.
The purpose of these conventions is the promotion of good
customs within populations. All the conventions are
different but they are always in accordance with the state
laws.
Approximately
ten thousands such conventions are kept in the
History
Museum
in
Hanoi
and in other museums throughout the country. |
